A Typical Day at a PDC Event

Only members in good standing can participate.

Tech Inspection
Any member participating in his/her first PDC hosted event of the season will be required to have their vehicle inspected according to PDC Vehicle Inspection Guidelines conducted by any registered workshop or dealer (Vehicle Safety & Tech Inspection). Completed Inspection Forms must be presented on arrival at the event to be eligible to participate. Tech inspection requirements may vary depending on the Host Club. All participating vehicles (applicable at every event) must pass "On-Track" tech inspection (Local Events) before being permitted on the track. In ALL cases, members are responsible for the condition and safe operation of their vehicle.

Runs
Participants generally get 100 minutes (4 x 25min sessions) of track time for PDC hosted events. First time novice participants receive an additional 1 hour theory session.
Drivers are seperated into 4 skill level Run Groups according to the Driver Grading System:

White Group - First Timer
Red Group - Novice
Yellow Group - Intermediate
Green Group - Advanced

Participants are assigned with in-car Instructors at various sessions and are given the opportunity to upgrade to higher run groups by satisfying the skills criteria set forth in each group. First time participants with relevant experience will be placed on a "check-ride" to determine the appropriate run group. For events conducted by PDC's affiliate Host Clubs, we participate in accordance with their program.

Schedule
The day begins at 7.15am with tech ("On-Track") inspection for events hosted by PDC . Tech Station closes at 8.15am and participants must pass tech in order to participate. All drivers must attend a mandatory drivers meeting at 8.30am and the first run group is scheduled on the track by 9 am. The event generally ends at approximately 5pm.

Registration
Members who register for an event will receive further instruction and confirmation by email. Registration is on a first-come-first-served basis.

Safety Gear
Participants are required to be equipped with safety gear. The types of safety gear required vary according to the level of run group (Driver Safety Equipment). Loaner helmets are available to first time participants for PDC hosted events only.
